One thing to note here is that Michael Harris II drops to the eighth spot in the lineup. He was previously hitting seventh ahead of Orlando Arcia against the other five lefty starts the Braves have faced so far, but now creates an opportunity for three righties in a row to get their hacks in against Jesus Luzardo.
Morton will really need to get his stuff to retire Jake Burger (third), Bryan de la Cruz (fifth), and Nick Fortes (ninth). The bottom of the lineup could pose a problem if he's unable to make much headway against lefty batters, because even if he gets past Fortes, it then just loops around to Luis Arraez and Josh Bell with men on.
